Project Setup Wizard

An interactive project scaffolding tool that generates complete, production-ready project structures for Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust with proper .gitignore, README, CI/CD configurations, and Dockerfiles.

Overview

Project Setup Wizard eliminates the repetitive work of starting new projects by generating:
  • Complete directory structure following language-specific conventions
  • Proper .gitignore tuned for the chosen language and toolchain
  • README.md with badges, installation, usage, and contribution sections
  • CI/CD configurations for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
  • Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml with multi-stage builds
  • Linter and formatter configs (ESLint, Black, golangci-lint, rustfmt)
  • Testing setup with example tests and coverage configuration
  • License file (MIT, Apache-2.0, or GPL-3.0)
  • Editor config (.editorconfig, VS Code settings)
Every template follows current best practices and is immediately runnable -- just add your code.

Installation

Via ClawHub

``bash openclaw install project-setup-wizard `

Manual Installation

  • Copy the skill into your OpenClaw skills directory:
`bash mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/ cp -r project-setup-wizard/ ~/.openclaw/skills/ `
  • Make the script executable:
`bash chmod +x ~/.openclaw/skills/project-setup-wizard/scripts/setup.sh `
  • Verify the installation:
`bash openclaw list --installed `

Requirements

  • bash (version 4.0 or higher)
  • git (version 2.0 or higher)
Optional (for language-specific validation):
  • node and npm (for Node.js projects)
  • python3 and pip (for Python projects)
  • go (for Go projects)
  • cargo (for Rust projects)
The wizard creates all files without requiring the language runtime, but having it installed allows post-setup validation and dependency installation.

Usage

Interactive Mode

Run without arguments to use the interactive wizard: `bash openclaw run project-setup-wizard ` The wizard prompts you for:
  • Project name
  • Language (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust)
  • Project description
  • Author name and email
  • License type
  • CI/CD provider
  • Whether to include Docker support
  • Whether to initialize a git repository

Non-Interactive Mode

Pass all options via command-line flags: `bash openclaw run project-setup-wizard [OPTIONS] Options: --name Project name (required in non-interactive mode) --lang Language: nodejs, python, go, rust --description Short project description --author Author name --email Author email --license License: mit, apache2, gpl3 (default: mit) --ci CI provider: github, gitlab, circleci (default: github) --docker Include Docker files (default: on) --no-docker Disable Docker file generation --git-init Initialize git repository (default: on) --no-git-init Skip git initialization --output-dir Parent directory for the project (default: current dir) --dry-run Show what would be created without writing files --verbose Show detailed output during generation `

Direct Script Execution

`bash ./scripts/setup.sh --name my-api --lang python --ci github --docker `

Environment Variables

`bash export PSW_LANG=python export PSW_CI=github export PSW_LICENSE=mit export PSW_AUTHOR="Your Name" export PSW_EMAIL="[email protected]" export PSW_DOCKER=true `

Generated Project Structures

Node.js

` my-project/ .github/ workflows/ ci.yml src/ index.js lib/ utils.js tests/ index.test.js .dockerignore .editorconfig .eslintrc.json .gitignore .prettierrc Dockerfile docker-compose.yml LICENSE package.json README.md `

Python

` my-project/ .github/ workflows/ ci.yml src/ my_project/ __init__.py main.py utils.py tests/ __init__.py test_main.py .dockerignore .editorconfig .gitignore Dockerfile docker-compose.yml LICENSE pyproject.toml README.md requirements.txt requirements-dev.txt setup.cfg `

Go

` my-project/ .github/ workflows/ ci.yml cmd/ my-project/ main.go internal/ app/ app.go pkg/ utils/ utils.go .dockerignore .editorconfig .gitignore .golangci.yml Dockerfile docker-compose.yml go.mod LICENSE Makefile README.md `

Rust

` my-project/ .github/ workflows/ ci.yml src/ main.rs lib.rs tests/ integration_test.rs .dockerignore .editorconfig .gitignore Cargo.toml Dockerfile docker-compose.yml LICENSE README.md rustfmt.toml `

Template Details

.gitignore

Each language gets a tailored .gitignore based on the official GitHub gitignore templates, extended with common IDE files, OS artifacts, and environment files:
  • Node.js: node_modules, dist, .env, coverage, .nyc_output
  • Python: __pycache__, .venv, dist, *.egg-info, .mypy_cache
  • Go: binary outputs, vendor (optional), .env
  • Rust: target/, Cargo.lock (for libraries), .env
All .gitignore files also include:
  • .env, .env.local, .env.*.local
  • .DS_Store, Thumbs.db
  • .idea/, .vscode/ (configurable)
  • .log, .tmp

CI/CD Configurations

#### GitHub Actions The generated workflow includes:
  • Matrix testing across OS and language versions
  • Dependency caching for fast builds
  • Linting step
  • Test step with coverage reporting
  • Build/compile step
  • Docker image build (if Docker is enabled)
#### GitLab CI Includes stages for lint, test, build, and deploy with proper caching and artifact management. #### CircleCI Includes orbs for the target language, caching, and parallel test execution.

Dockerfile

All Dockerfiles use multi-stage builds for minimal production images: | Language | Build Stage | Production Base | Typical Size | |----------|------------------|-----------------|--------------| | Node.js | node:20-alpine | node:20-alpine | ~120 MB | | Python | python:3.12-slim | python:3.12-slim| ~150 MB | | Go | golang:1.22 | scratch | ~10 MB | | Rust | rust:1.76 | debian:slim | ~80 MB | Each Dockerfile includes:
  • Non-root user for security
  • Health check endpoint
  • Proper signal handling
  • Layer caching optimization
  • .dockerignore for build context control

Examples

Create a Python API project

`bash openclaw run project-setup-wizard \ --name user-api \ --lang python \ --description "REST API for user management" \ --license mit \ --ci github \ --docker `

Create a Go CLI tool without Docker

`bash openclaw run project-setup-wizard \ --name mytool \ --lang go \ --description "Command-line productivity tool" \ --no-docker \ --license apache2 `

Create a Rust library

`bash openclaw run project-setup-wizard \ --name fast-parser \ --lang rust \ --description "High-performance data parser" \ --ci github `

Dry run to preview output

`bash openclaw run project-setup-wizard \ --name test-project \ --lang nodejs \ --dry-run ` Output: ` [DRY RUN] Would create the following structure: test-project/ .github/workflows/ci.yml src/index.js src/lib/utils.js tests/index.test.js .dockerignore .editorconfig .eslintrc.json .gitignore .prettierrc Dockerfile docker-compose.yml LICENSE package.json README.md Total: 14 files in 5 directories `

Extending Templates

You can add custom templates by placing files in the templates/ directory within the skill folder: ` project-setup-wizard/ templates/ nodejs/ custom-file.js.template python/ custom-file.py.template ` Template files support variable substitution using {{VARIABLE}} syntax:
  • {{PROJECT_NAME}} -- Project name
  • {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} -- Description
  • {{AUTHOR_NAME}} -- Author name
  • {{AUTHOR_EMAIL}} -- Author email
  • {{LICENSE}} -- License identifier
  • {{YEAR}} -- Current year
  • {{DATE}} -- Current date (YYYY-MM-DD)

Troubleshooting

"Permission denied" on script

`bash chmod +x scripts/setup.sh `

Project directory already exists

The wizard will not overwrite existing directories. Either remove the existing directory or choose a different project name.

Language runtime not found

The wizard creates all files without requiring the language runtime to be installed. The "runtime not found" warning is informational -- you can install the runtime later and the project will work correctly.

Git initialization fails

If --git-init fails, ensure git is installed and configured with your name and email: `bash git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "[email protected]" ``
